Simple Single Layer Cards

 A very simple card using a sentiment from the Pursuit of happiness stamp set from SU!. :) I also used SU! chevron embossing folder! I absolutely love it! :)

 Another simple card using a sentiment from the Pursuit of Happiness stamp set. :) Then I added a heart from a new stamp set in he Spring Catalog called Hearts a Flutter! I embossed the heart using some pool party embossing powder that will be available on January 2, 2013! :)

 I used another sentiment from the Pursuit of Happiness stamp set and a little sun from the Spring catalog! :) They are stamped in more mustard ink! :)

 A beautiful sentiment and heart card using stamp sets that will be available to the public on January 2, 2012!! :) Enjoy!! :)

Have a blessed day!! :)

Hello Flowers

Happy Tuesday! Here is my card for Tuesday's color challenge! The challenge was to use cherry cobbler, espresso, and marina mist together. I'm addicted to this color challenge now! So pretty!!! :) I used the stamp set "Raining Flowers" for the main part of the image which I used the 2 step stamping technique. :) The Hello and little frame are from a stamp set that will be available on January 2, 2013! :) I also used the small label punch from the spring mini too. :) I added some glitter tape to add a little glitter and piazza. :-) 

Have a great day!

My Christmas Tree and Handmade Christmas Tags

 Grant and I put up the Christmas tree yesterday!! :) It came out beautifully! I absolutely love Christmas and having the tree glowing each night just makes me smile ! :)

 I've been doing a little wrapping already and I made my own Christmas tags this year using the Stampin' Up stamp set Delightful Decorations Clear-Mount Stamp Set. I embossed the tag and then used the Stampin' Up ornament punch that goes with the set. :) I punched a hole in the top and hung it with bakers twine!! :) The beautiful vanilla ribbon is also from SU! :) I hope you love it! I sure do!! :) 

Hugs,

Merry Christmas Night of Purple

Happy Tuesday! Here's my card for today's color challenge! :) I'm not going to lie... not my favorite combo ever. It was a little difficult for me to put together. LOL! I decided to use the Christmas Tree as the backdrop that I put up today. LOL! :) Peace Love Joy

Thinking of you Friend

 Happy Friday! I have a friend that really needed an uplift so I thought I would make a sweet little card and write her a nice uplifting message. She has been there for me through every hardship in my life and I will always be there for her too!! :) That is the true meaning of friendship.

I love how this card turned out. It's simple and just sweet in my opinion. :) I used the " Happy You" Hostess stamp set from Stampin' up! I love this little birdie... then I added the "to my friend" I used my topic markers to color the image. Added some cherry cobbler dazzling stickles from SU to the heart. I dry embossed the background and popped the image up on 3D dots. I hope you like it and I hope my friend smiles when she sees it.

Have a blessed day!
Ashley

Natural Merry Christmas

Happy Thursday!

I made a card similar to this the other day that used the same stamp set. I thought this would be beautiful in chocolate chip and a vanilla embossing! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE how this card turned out!! :) I used the beautiful organza ribbon with this and the Merry from Stampin' Up's Snowflake Soiree stamp set is perfect!

I hope you like this too!

Hugs,
Ashley 

Merry Birdie Christmas

Happy Wednesday! Here is my card for todays Sketch Challenge! :) I loved the sketch! I tired to keep it Clean and Simple too as much as I could! :) I've been wanting to use this adorable birdie on skates for a while! So happy I finally got to use him! :) I though the left conner of the main image was too plain so I thought it needed a little bow! :) Have a blessed day! Ashley

Birdie Support

Happy Tuesday! Here is my card for todays color challenge. :) I had to switch out a few colors since I didn't have the ones listed... But Close enough! LOL! 

I tried to do a 5 minute card... ugh... I failed! LOL! It ended up taking me 11 minutes to complete. LOL! :) Sometimes you just need a little extra challenge. I wanted this to be simple but still fun!! :) I think the doubled ribbons add a little zazzyness to this card! :) 

Have a beautiful day!

FS301 | You're Simply Wonderful

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I just thought I would sit down this evening and do the featured stamper challenge! :) I fell in love with this LaLatty's card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2229264. 

I used her beautiful card as my inspiration for mine. I used the Wonderful Winterland and Friendly Phrases stamp sets for my card. I decided to use my SU! Polka Dot embossing folder for the background and then added two embossing lines below it. I love that stamp sentiment set too! LOL! :) I added some cherry cobbler dazzling details to finish my image off with a heart! I hope you love it and it warms your heart! 

Have a blessed week! 
Hugs!

Today I wanted to showcase a different color combo that I normally would never use for snowflakes. I just received everything on this card today in the mail from Stampin' Up! I'm obsessed with this new stamp set from the Holiday Mini catalog! :) It's called Snowflake Soiree... isn't it beautiful!! :) I stamped the snowflakes in Lucky Limeade and Pacific Point Stampin' Up Ink. :) Then the believe is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. :) I have to say the Cherry Cobbler ink is my newest favorite!! I love it!!! :) I also used some Cherry Cobbler Binding ribbon from SU! too! :) I love how it turned out!!! :) I added some SU! Dazzling details to the snowflakes and rounded the bottom two corners with my corner punch! :)

I hope you love this card!! It's one of my favs and only one layer so perfect for mailing! :)

Have a blessed weekend!
